It’s plain to see. The new 2023 Toyota Highlander is a cut above the rest when it comes to capability and comfort. The all-new 2023 Kia Telluride, on the other hand, can barely keep up. If you’re looking for a more sustainable ride that offers great fuel efficiency, then the Toyota Highlander is the perfect choice for you. This model boasts the best available EPA-estimated mpg of the two vehicles, and it’s also available as a hybrid. The Kia Telluride doesn’t offer the same fuel savings you’ll get from the Toyota Highlander. And as we mentioned above, the Toyota Highlander is a beast when it comes to its hauling capabilities, offering 310 pound-feet of torque! Ride in style when you slip behind the wheel of the Toyota Highlander, as this spacious SUV can be equipped with luscious available leather-trimmed seats and comes standard with 60/40 split-folding and reclining third-row seats. Talk about luxury! And if you enjoy listening to your favorite tunes or podcasts on the go, the available 11-speaker JBL® Premium Audio system (including subwoofer and amplifier) will provide an incredible audio experience. Finally, when you choose the Toyota Highlander, you'll get no-cost maintenance for 24 months or 25,000 miles (whichever comes first). The Kia Telluride doesn't offer this type of convenient plan.
